LAMBERT H. SMITH, OF DENVER, COLORADO.

MUClLAGE-BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 11,1907.

Application filed January 22,1906. Serial No. 297,209.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LAMBERT H. SMITH, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Denver, in the county of Denver and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mucilage-Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to bottles for mucilage, paste and other substances and has for its object to provide a receptacle, the closure of which will ellectively exclude the atmosphere and in which, in consequence, mucilage, paste and other perishable and volatile sub stances may be preserved for an indefinite period while being readily accessible. I'attain this object by the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings in the several viewsof which like parts are similarly designated and in which,

Figure 1-represents a vertical section through the bottle andsurmounted closure, Fig. 2-a horizontal section along a line 2*2, Fig. 1, Fig. 3an enlarged sectional view of the neck of the bottle and adjacent portions of the cover, and Fig. 4a fragmentary sectional view showing modified form of screwcap.

Referring to the drawings, 5 represents the bottle, which may be of any desired shape and is provided with a short central upwardly extending neck 6. 7 is a circular cap or cover adapted to fit over the neck of the bottle and close its orifice while holding the stem 8 of a brush 9, which in practice extends within the receptacle. Cover 7, is to this end provided with a central, downwardly extending, internally threaded neck. 10, through which the correspondingly threaded stem 8 extends. By these means the brush may readily be elevated or lowered and held at any desired point above or below the level of the liquid contained 1n the bottle.

The receptacle is furthermore provided with a screw-cap 11, the downwardly extending peripheral rim 12 of which has a screwbead adapted to engage a corresponding circumferential bead on the bottle. A central, cylindrical. offset 13 on the screw-cap is surmounted by an integral, central, elongated, cylindrical or conical hood 14, which, when the cap is in place, surrounds the upwardly projecting extremity of the brush-stem. When cap 11 is screwed home, the o'l'l'set 6, encircling the neck of bottle 5 engages the upper surface of cover 7 with the result that the latter is pressed against the rim of neck 6 and the orifice is closed so tight as to be impermeable to the surrounding atmosphere.

It will be understood that the height of hood 14 is varied in accordance with the depth of the receptacle and the corresponding length of the brush-stem while the shape of the screw-cap may be altered to correspond with bottles ol diilerent shape and size. If so desired, offset 6 maybe dispensed with and the hood made to extend directly from the upper portion of the screw-cap which is such a case is conically sha ed as shown in Fig. 4.

Having thus descri )6(l my invent ion what I claim is V 1. A receptacle of the class na i'ed, comprising in combination, a bottle having a threaded, diametrically reduced upper portion and a plain central neck, a flanged disk engaging and surrounding the upper edge of the said neck, a brush vertically adjustably held therein, and a screw cap arranged to simultaneously engage the screw thread and the upper surface of the said disk and having a central hood to admit the upper portion of the brush stem.

2. A receptacle of the class named comprising in combination, a bottle having a plain neck and a peripheral screw thread on its body portion, a flanged disk engaging and surrounding the upper edge of the said neck' and having a central, threaded sleeve, a brush having a threaded stem within the said sleeve, and a screw cap arranged to simultaneously engage the thread on the said body portion and the upper surface of the said disk and having a central hood to admit the upper portion of the brush stem.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

LAMBERT H. SMITH.
